PARIS, March 1S.-The Voltaire
publishes an interview to-day with M.
de Lesseps, in relation to his visit to
Berlin. NJ. de Leeseps professed COM
plete disregard for the attacks upon
him by the Radical press, and main
tanned the truth of his assertion that
Germany and France were natural
friends, having common interests. He
said Prince Bismarck told him he was
glad o see France great and strong,
ano would wish Germany to be the
same, 30 that the two nations might
be able to gauge the uncertainty OF
fresh conflict. "May we some day ex-
claim" continued the Prince, ''that
we would be stupid to kill each other
let us Join forces and be masters OF
the world. We would then be able to
work for the progress OF civilization.
The day our forces are equal We will
again be friends. Our geographical
position makes it our duty to neg
lect nothing to that end, which will
ensure the peace OF the world. That
is why | congratulate you upon pos

\ Tunnel Over Ten Miles Long.

An engineering work that has taken
over g, century to construct can hard
ly fail to offer some points OF interest
inits history, and illustrate themarch
OF events during the years OF its prog
ress, says Engineering. An instance
OF this kind is to be found in tunnel
not long since completed, but which
was commenced over 100 years ago.
This tunnel or adit as it should be
more strictly termed, Is ct SChemnitz
in Hungary It's construction was
agreed upon in 1892, the object being
to carry of the water from the
Schemnitz mines to the lowest part OF
the Gran valley. The work Is now
complete, and il forms the longest tun-
mel in the world, being 1927 miles
long. or about one mile longer than
ST. Gothard, and two and one-half
miles longer than Mont Cents The
height is 9 feet 10 inches and the
breadth ) feet inches. This tunnel.
which has taken so long in making,
has cost very nearly q million ster-
ling, but the money appears to have
been well spent; at least the present
generation have no reason to grumble,
for the saving from being able to do
away with water raising appliances
amounts to SIS, 900 r wear.

A Marketman Shows How He Could Make
S225, 900 600 Every Year.


From the New York Mail and Express.
eli ! owned all the hens in this coun-
ry, said the marketman, as he count
ed out a dozen eggs and put them in q
customer s basket, land had g. place
to pasture them, would ask Just ten
years in business and Id be the boss
millionaire.
"How's that?"
"How's that? May be you don't
know, young man. that over 20, ,00O,-
900 cackles each day, announcing the
birth OF the same number OF eggs, kept
the farmer boys busy last year gather
ing in the Efforts OF 100000 hens
But they did. Well, those efforts for
365 days resulted in 1900, 100000
separate and distinct eggs or S00,000,-
600 dozen, as near as | can calculate.
Now, it took Just 10000, 900 dozens
OF those eggs to supply the demand for
Tom and ferries, puddings, hard and
soft boiled eggs, egg-nog and ham aud
eggs at shat. Figure tnat thirty cents
a dozen, for 1888, was about the av-
erage price Thirty cents a dozen Tor
100000, 900 dozen climbs up to the
comfortable little purse OF 1925, ,000,-
900. There e'snothing mean about me,
and If | had the handling OF those
offerings OF the nations hens I'd be
satisfied with the profits OF Two cents
on a dozen.
"Last year must have been q good
one for people visiting in the country,
for folks broiled, fricasseed and roast
ed something like 1000, 900 chick
ems, young and old. That used up
the little balance OF $4,000, 600 dozen
eggs That 100000 dozen were
turned into chickens that gobbled up
100000, 900 OF the hard earned coin
OF this realm, ciphering the thing down
close, at so cents a chicken. | don't
deal in poultry, but from me size OF
the diamond pins OF the one that do,
| don't hesitate a minute t. say that
there can't beless than fivec' IT'S profit
on every chicken they sell. -tst year
New York took 25,000,000 dozen OF
eggs to satisfy her, and she paid
S9,00O,000 to get them. Nov, New
York State only keeps hens enough TO
lay about 100000 dozen, and so, OF
course, We have to go knocking around
all over the country and part OF Can
ada to keep up with the cry for eggs.
Ii would take all the eggs that New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
Mass achusetts hens are responsible
for to supply this city with all the eggs
it wants. The 25,O0O,O0O eggs used
here last year, II laid IN single line,
one after another, without q hairs
space between them, would reach from
Boston to San Francisco. l tell you,
there's q big thing waiting for some
one who can get a corner on eggs"
